Today's Weather Story
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
We can be Thankful for the weather today
Thanksgiving Day started off cool across Southwest Florida with temperatures in the lower 50s in most spots. Through the day, there will be lots of sunshine, making for a beautiful blue sky kind of day. As far as temperatures are concerned, we'll stay on the cool side with highs in the low to mid 70s. Winds will come in from the north at 10-15 mph with gusts near 20 mph. That will make it feel cool all day despite all the sunshine. If you are the one in the kitchen doing the cooking today, it may be nice to just open the windows to cool off a bit. Tonight will be a chilly one. As the clear skies continue, temperatures will drop into the upper 40s. Inland cold spots will be in the mid 40s while there could be a few spots right along the coast that stay in the lower 50s. For the next few days, we'll continue with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 70s. You can enjoy the beautiful weather right on through the weekend.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO TRADE SLEEP FOR BARGAINS,
THEN YOU'D BETTER GET THE MOST FOR YOU MONEY.
THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING FRENZY HAS ALREADY BEGUN,
AND AS BOB HANSEN REPORTS:
THERE ARE TRICKS TO GETTING THE BEST DEAL.
Return to index of stories...
S/ ADRIANA GONZALEZ, FASHION EXPERT:09
S/ FRANCINE MILEY, FASHION VALLEY MALL:15
S/ CHARLIE GRAHAM, SHOP IT TO ME FOUNDER:31
S/ BOB HANSEN / REPORTING 1:17
THERE'S NO GLORY SHOPPING WHEN THE SUN SHINES… BUT IN THE DARKNESS OF BLACK FRIDAY THE REAL BARGAIN SHOPPERS BEGIN TO SHINE.
"I never like to pay full price for anything, whether it be electronics, clothes, whatever it may be."
"Full bags, yes. they will just wear themselves out from that one day in hopes that they accomplish their shopping for the holidays."
SO HOW CAN YOU KNOW IF THE BLACK FRIDAY DISCOUNTS ARE REALLY WORTH YOUR TIME AND LACK OF SLEEP? HERE'S ONE RULE OF THUMB FROM SHOP IT TO ME C-E-O, CHARLIE GRAHAM.
"40 percent is a pretty good threshold to know you're getting a good deal. anything above that happens pretty rarely and anything below that happens often enough that likely you will see that again."
THAT'S PARTICULAR TRUE WITH CLOTHING, LESS SO WITH ELECTRONICS. SHOPPING BETWEEN THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE WIDEST RANGE OF DISCOUNTED ITEMS OF THE YEAR. SO WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY TO GET THOSE BARGAINS?
nats
IT PAYS TO BE FIRST.
"So they generally put out their sales first thing in the morning and they rarely change those sales during the course of the day."
"My three favorite things to shop for are t-shirts, sneakers and watches."
TROY LEOS LOOKS FOR BARGAINS ON THE INTERNET BEFORE HE HITS THE STORES.
I usually do my shopping for black friday online. and they give you the same deals, if not better.
BUT ADRIANA GONZALEZ ADMITS SHE STILL FINDS BARGAINS THE OLD FASHION WAY. IN FACT MIXING THE TWO MAY BE THE BEST STRATEGY FOR THE SAVVY SHOPPER. USING YOUR COMPUTER TO LOOK FOR DEALS, BEFORE YOUR FEET HIT THE MALL PAVEMENT.
BY CHECKING SALES ONLINE, YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA WHAT SORT OF DEAL YOU'LL FIND AT THE MALL.
ALSO, LOOK FOR ONLINE COUPONS YOU CAN BRING WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO HOLIDAY SHOPPING, THAT WAY YOU CAN GET THE SALES PRICE PLUS THE VALUE OF THE COUPON.

S/ Voice of: Carol Miller / Turkey-talk expert:35-:41
SITTING DOWN TO ENJOY DINNER WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS ON THANKSGIVING DAY IS THE BEST PART.
BUT. ALL THE WORK IT TAKES TO GET ALL THAT FOOD TO THE TABLE COULD TURN-INTO A FIASCO.
"sometimes I burn my turkey."
"I burned a pecan pie."
"I've cut my finger."
"burt half of the stuff up!"
"turkey not being done enough."
"dish towel caught fire."
BUT DON'T WORRY. NO COOKING QUESTION IS TOO TOUGH FOR THESE TURKEY-TALKERS.
"hello thank you for calling the butterball hotline, may I help you?"
IF YOU'RE HAVING A CRANBERRY CRISIS, OR CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN TO BASTE YOUR BIRD.
JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THE HIGHLY TRAINED EXPERTS AT THE BUTTERBALL HOTLINE.
"we're all food pro's we all have degrees in home ec. Or dietitions, we're also trained at butterball university."
THE BUTTERBALL HOTLINE HAS BEEN UP AND RUNNING FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS, ANSWERING MORE THAN 100,000 COOKING QUESTIONS ANNUALLY.
THE HIGHLY TRAINED TURKEY-TALK-EXPERTS CAN HELP PREVENT ANY DINNER-DISTASTER. BUT SOMETIMES THEY GET SOME PRETTY INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
"well we are the turkey experts but when people call and want to know where they can rent a turkey costume that's not our area of expertise."
TURKEY EXPERTS FROM BUTTERBALL SAYS, THEY GET QUIET A FEW CALLS FROM MEN.
"we get a lot of calls from men on call that we do get is that they've left a little treasure bag into the turkey, and they're really upset. The giblet bag is designed to go through the heating process, it's okay."
SO TO GET TO THE DINNER-TABLE THIS YEAR.WITHOUT THE HEADACHE.
YOU KNOW WHO TO CALL.

DON'T LEAVE YOUR CAR IDLING. IDLING CAN USE UP TO A HALF GALLON OF FUEL PER HOUR.
AND SLOW DOWN! YOUR FUEL ECONOMY GETS WORSE AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. AND EACH FIVE MILES PER HOUR OVER 50 IS LIKE PAYING AN EXTRA 24 CENTS PER GALLON.
